Irregardless is an informal term commonly used in place of regardless or irrespective, which has caused controversy since it first appeared in the early twentieth century. Most dictionaries list it as "nonstandard" or "incorrect".
Since the prefix ir- means "not" (as it does with irrespective), and the suffix -less means "without", irregardless is a double negative and therefore would have the meaning "in regards to" when that is not the intent.
